Hairfarmer Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I need some help, i've had my shee for five years now, just got enough money to mess with it, so i put T5 pipes, bored .30 over...after sinking it in a pond, reed spacers, K&n air filter, moose carb tops. Now that i have it all done i can't get a good throttle response, it idles just fine, got my air screw set two out. But it bogs really bad before it hits powerband....help thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEREALBUDLIGHTBANSHEE Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 what jets are you runnig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reded Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Raise the needles (move the clip lower) a couple notches and see if that helps. Sounds as tho its too lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well, you did buy a high rev pipe, not a low end or midrange pipe....you might be able to get some of the low end back by raising the needles like reded suggested. Try the 4th clip from the blunt end, if that helps then try the 5th clip....it'll either like it or hate it....2 turns out on the air screw is alot. Is that what your shee likes?? Have you tried .5 turn out on the air screws? What size are your mains?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairfarmer Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 MY mains are 290 at low elevation needles are set on three. hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003LimitedBanshee Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I have to agree on the air screws, two turns does sound like a bit much. I would try going with about 1 turn. If it improves go to a half, and if it likes it better at a half, I would personally go up one size on the pilot and go back to 1.5-2 turns. It also sounds like your main jetting could be a little lean. What air temp and elevation are you at? Do a WOT plug check to determine if your main jet is on, you should be aiming for a light chocolate milk color. Then, once you have the main jet set, adjust your needles accordingly to clean up any midrange issues you may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a wot run and check the mains.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairfarmer Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I'm sitting at about 1250 and it usually about 40 to 50 when we ride. Although we are gonna be going to Waynoka in march and i'm not sure of the elevation there. Thanks for all the help. Hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hair 451690[/snapback] Little Sahara is right around that elevation, so it shouldent effect your jetting. What size main and pilot jets do you have in the bike now? Also, what have you done to the airbox (snorkel off, lid off, clamp on filters)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairfarmer Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 i'm running 290 mains, not sure what my pilots are, i'll have to tear into it and look. the air box is stock for now would like to make some changes hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give the shee all it needs for air, even w/ a stroker...the full lid will hold you back even on throttle response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee~ Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 IMO just ditch the lid cuz it will give you a little extra power. Also, you can put it back on when you wash your bike. But if you go Banchetta's way id also remove the snorkel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairfarmer Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I"m gonna try cutting the lid, i found another one in case i don't like it, thanks for the suggestions. It's alot of help. I live with two guys that run polaris...they could give a shit less if mine isn't running it's best, means they have a slight chance at beating me. Which still hasn't happened. hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
